📉 Bank of Japan to Further Slow Down Bond Purchases 🇯🇵

✍️ By Azeem

📌 Key Highlights:

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has announced plans to slow the pace of Japanese Government Bond (JGB) purchases even further starting April 2026.

This move comes amid rising volatility in bond markets, with 30-year bond yields hitting 3.2% recently — a result of weak demand from local life insurers.

🔻 Since last year, BOJ has been tapering JGB purchases by ¥400 billion every 3 months.

🔻 Now, the central bank may cut the pace to ¥200 billion per quarter.

🔻 Monthly bond buying is expected to fall from ¥5.7 trillion in mid-2024 to around ¥2.1 trillion by early 2027.

💬 Experts say the tapering may be contributing to rising yields — and future hawkish moves may now come through interest rate hikes, not just bond purchases.

📊 BOJ’s shift from aggressive easing marks a big change since its 2013 QE and 2016 yield curve control policies.

🧠 Is this a warning sign for investors or a signal of Japan’s confidence in economic recovery?
